EdgeView
EdgeView is a Mac image viewer and file browser built for quickly opening, browsing, and managing many image formats and archives.
What is EdgeView?
EdgeView is a native Mac image viewer designed for people who work with large image collections, comics, photo references, and archived image sets. It helps users open and browse common image formats, RAW files, PDFs, Adobe Illustrator files, and animated image formats from one desktop app. The app also includes a built-in file browser so you can move through folders, preview files, and manage images without constantly switching to Finder. A standout capability is direct viewing of images inside archive files such as ZIP, RAR, CBZ, CBR, and 7z, which is especially useful for comic reading and packed image libraries. EdgeView supports navigation with keyboard shortcuts, mouse wheel input, and trackpad gestures, and it offers viewing features such as continuous scrolling, two-page spread, right-to-left reading, and EXIF display. Published by Djhan, it is aimed at Mac users who want a fast dedicated viewer rather than a full photo editor or asset management suite.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
EdgeView is a legitimate desktop image viewer for macOS. It normally needs access only to the files and folders you choose to open, including local folders, external drives, network shares, and archive files. If you use its file management features, actions such as rename or delete will affect the original files, so take normal care when working with important images or shared folders.
Recommendation: Keep EdgeView if you use it to browse image libraries, comics, archived image sets, or reference folders on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer need a dedicated image viewer, understanding that uninstalling it may also remove its saved preferences and viewing history.
